“So is that why you came here to tell me that?” He looked down at her with contempt.
“No I came here to tell you that you are out of my life for good, I don’t want anything to do with you ever again, you are a greedy, selfish, arrogant, cheating slime-ball, that I have ever met.” It was his fault that he had taken and disposed of her like some garbage.
“Enough! Get out of my apartment both of you,” he said harshly.
Jackie and Samantha didn’t budge they just stood there, with their hands on their hips and David wasn’t going to get rid of both of them that fast, not until Jackie had finished with him.
“Hey babe, come back in the bedroom and fuck me, I need your cock,” yelled out the drunk woman, in David’s bedroom.
“I’ll be there soon,” grinned David.
“Yes you need to go in there David and put your tiny penis in that slut’s pussy, you bastard, you treated me like I was worth nothing, when my sister died.”
“Is this some kind of old woman lecture?” David scolded her. “If it is I don’t want to hear it?”
“You are a nasty piece of work,” she looked at him horrified. “I wish I never dated you in the first place, I mean who does that?” Jackie shouted at him in angst.
“Only a mother fucker like you David,” Samantha yelled at him, defending Jackie.
“Get the fuck out of my apartment both of you or I’ll punch your faces in!” David said with a cold bitterness in his voice.
Jackie looked panicked at the thought, “You are not only a beast, you are bastard.”
David grabbed both their arms and tried to push them out the front door. “Get out now!” He said fiercely.
“Leave us alone, we are going,” Samantha yelled out, trying to pull away.
“Yes we are, I don’t want to stay a second longer in this brothel,” snapped Jackie, throwing her hands up in frustration. “Just for the record David, you are trash and every dog has its day.”
“Get out now, both of you and don’t ever come back, shoo, get out!”
As they walked out, Jackie nearly tripped over a glass bottle, luckily Samantha was there to support her and they walked out safely.
David slammed the door behind them and they left his stinky apartment for good.
“Are you okay? Don’t cry sweetie, he is not worth your tears.” Samantha put a comforting shoulder around Jackie and walked her to her car and they both went in and sat inside.
“I’ll be okay, it’s just I didn’t expect him to turn out to be such a jerk,” Jackie said through crying eyes.
“The majority of men out there are jerks sweetheart, it’s just that they are really good at hiding their real personas, until they get what they want.”
“And what is it that they want?” Jackie was so confused with men and their real intentions and she had just about enough of them.
“Well sex is the most obvious and when you don’t give it to them real early, they are forced to date you, something men have grown an extinction for these days.”
“I am just glad to be rid of him, he is not someone I would want around my daughter.”
“Oh my God, do you mean you are having a baby girl?” Samantha looked overwhelmed, when Jackie mentioned the sex of the baby.
“Yes I had the ultra sound recently and they said I am having a girl,” Jackie’s face beamed in delight, as she announced it.
“That’s amazing news, you know.” Samantha shed a few tears of excitement.
“Yes at least something good has come out of my tragic romance,” Jackie managed a smile.
“You know, everything happens for a reason,’’ her best friend said with wisdom in her voice. “The romance wasn’t supposed to work out, because David wasn’t good enough for you.”
“That’s true, you are right.” Jackie saw the sense in what Samantha was saying.
“But I think you were supposed to have this child and for that reason alone, that’s why you got pregnant.”
“True, I better get going home and you have to get back to your car too.”
“Yes and we don’t want to be anywhere near David’s place either.”
“Hey how about I shout you out to dinner tomorrow night,” offered Jackie.
“No way, it’s my shout girl,’’ insisted Samantha.
“Thankyou sweetie, that’s very generous of you, you are a wonderful girlfriend, thanks for being there to lend some support tonight.”
“The least I could do, you are a great boss, too you know.”
Jackie laughed, “I try to be,” she said.
The following night they had dinner at Julie’s Bar and Grill, it was a lovely, quiet place to share dinner with a friend. And Jackie had an enormous craving for steak and she ordered it with seasoned vegetables. Samantha ordered a light chicken salad as per usual. They went light on drinks, ordering a lemon lime and foregoing any bubbly. It was a breezy night and the atmosphere at the restaurant was very cosy, with an open fireplace, adjacent to their table.
There was something very special, about having your best friend there with you, when you need her most. Having a man in your life may have been equally important, but Jackie knew men may come and go, but at least your friends will always be there for you.
“Let’s make a toast,’’ Samantha lifted up her glass.
“Sure, what are we toasting?”
“Here’s to the birth of your baby girl?”
“I’ll toast to that, cheers.”
“So have you figured out any baby names yet?”
“Yes I have and it didn’t take long to decide.”
“Really, what did you come up with?”
“Carrie of course, I am going to call my baby girl, Carrie.”
“That’s brilliant,” grinned Samantha. “That name is very significant for you and it will keep your sister’s memory alive.”
“Absolutely it will, I will cherish her forever and I will definitely have plenty to teach her about the boys.” Jackie couldn’t have thought of a more precious gift to give her sister, than naming her daughter after her name.
Samantha laughed, as they finished eating dinner and planned to go baby shopping in a few weeks. Jackie didn’t want any baby showers as her sister’s absence, would have been heart wrenching at a time of grief.
Jackie preferred the idea of going shopping with her best friend and buying all the new born essentials for the baby first, the larger items would be bought a few months, before the impending birth.
It was going to be a splendid time for Jackie, a time when grief would turn into joy, when death would be replaced by a birth and a moment when you knew, that nothing in this world, matters more than life itself.
Every breath we take, every moment we live, is a gift from God, that most people can take for granted in this life.
Jackie knew better and no matter how strained her relationship had been with her parents, the loss of coping with her sister’s death and the many tragic romances she had endured, she had grown resilient in this life and the strength of her human spirit remained unbroken.
